A reboot of the US version of The Office is reportedly in the works.

Following the success of NBC’s Will & Grace – which was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series after its revival – network executives are currently planning a reboot of The Office for the 2018-2019 TV season.

Sources confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that the network is looking to bring it back for another season, after it ran for nine seasons on NBC, airing its final episode in 2013.

Steve Carell is not involved in the discussions and a search is already underway to find another character like paper boss Michael Scott, according to TVLine.com.

Carell featured in the first seven seasons on NBC, returning for the series nine finale.
